Green tortoise beetle (Cassida)

I was searching for more green tortoise beetles today, and found this one. I popped it on my finger so that I could get a better shot of it than when on the very camouflaging Canada thistle, its usual location.

You must really have a way with insects ;-). Such an unusual looking beetle, just like a tortoise. Super capture with great detail. Christine. V.
